Minimal Contact Form




  

  

    

  



Minimal Contact Form is a simple, clean and secure contact form that meets the requirements of the GDPR.




You can also download the plugin at the WordPress Repository!

Almost everyone needs a contact form for their website. But you quickly realize that it is not that easy to find a suitable plugin.

Either you end up with huge form builders that are simply too bulky for a single contact form, or you find a small plugin that doesn't meet your requirements.

### Features

**Minimal Contact Form** is designed to address precisely this problem:

* It is a simple contact form without a lot of extras.

* All form fields are validated and sanitized.

* You can choose to whom the emails are sent.

* The form data is sent via AJAX.

* Sending with WP Mail (SMTP) or PHP Mail is selectable.

* No annoying captchas are used for spam detection, but the honeypot method.

* Predefined GDPR-compliant messages with or without checkbox will be displayed.

* Those messages are linked directly to the privacy policy.

* In case of consent, the recipient will be informed directly in the e-mail.

* The plugin is completely translatable (English & German already available).

All this with a total of **four** settings!

### Requirements

* Due to the new privacy options, this plugin requires WordPress 4.9.6 or up.

* You must setup a privacy policy page in WordPress.

### Translations

If you want to translate this plugin into another language, you are welcome! English and German (informal) are already there. I used the plugin [Loco Translate](https://wordpress.org/plugins/loco-translate/), but I suppose that other ways should be compatible as well.

### See room for improvement?

3. Place the shortcode `[minimal_contact_form]` in your contact page.

You will find `Contact Form` menu in your WordPress options panel.
